I'm just waiting for warmer weather. Then I can tear into mine. New rods and pistons in the 2.2L to handle up to 450-500hp and then just running a 2.7"-2.8" Pulley on a ported M62. The entire blower setup is sitting in my garage collecting dust haha.
Gen II blocks are good to about 600. Shouldn't have any problems with that.
whats up???
8 psi with m62 and IAT under 100
I will bump this... anyone want to make some extra money and help paint my car again?
i've got about 1500-2000 to play with if anyone wants to help.
Got a local guy who probably going to help...
candy wine and carbon fiber is all I will say
.
I had purchase the SS kit used. The last painter didn't sand or primer. Car has color on it right now. Shot clear yesterday and this morning
And the cavalier drives again! lololol.. Pretty much have all the turbo parts still, just need a new TMAP, manifold and some new injectors and I'll be back to boost.

Thanks Bro Man!, Whats new with everybody? Its nice to see Eco powered J bodies in the Junkyard.. I can finally afford this car stuff again..
------------------------------------------------------------
I ordered a set of K-Sport Pro Kontrol coilovers for my cobalt. Should be here the first week of May. The paint work is just about done. Ordering 5mm Wheel spacers for the front and rear to push the wheels out just a little bit and then slamming it for the rest of the summer.
I'm really debating still whether to put my supercharger on or turbo the car... May need to join you in the junk yards to see how much a new motor would be to build for turbo.
I have "The" JBP Vortex Header prototype if anybody is looking for one for an ecotec. Sounds mean, but is only good to about 300whp and then the primarys are too small.
Steve, I still have my 10:1 / .020" over(I think its .020") Weisco pistons, im going to go with a set of eagle rods, OE bearings and probably a BS delete.

I will take them off your hands most likely next month brandon.
I would just need to grab some rods and the motor would be good for the power that I am looking for. Anybody want to make some money and help me throw together another eco?
I would be down for a meet.. the interior of my car is going to have to get cleaned up, but i'm down.
Brandon, if you get a chance can you send me a text about the pistons? 402-599-9639.
Wanted to ask you a few questions too about what your plans for boost were.
So I have a paint update, but good and bad. So Shot the clear, and found out the activator was recalled and nothing was said when we purchased it.. so it ruined the paint. The clear was wrinkled like hell. Ran out of time with the guy helping me as he's a farmer and had to start seeding.
The car doesn't look horrible as we compounded the hell out of it and will be alright for now.
But the car will be back in the original plan that I wanted. Picked out some expensive paint and will be re-done in a couple weeks.
Here is the main color I picked... Off the Lotus
Debating on doing the roof line black or paint it to match the car.
Pretty color huh?
No Brad, I think thats just the color scheme he wants..
I love my job. Whenever we get cars that have to be certified preowned they cannot have any aftermarket equipment.. Got all sorts of guages and last night I got a WOT box worth 200$, Synapse BOV/ 40MM wastegate
